boats in the dark.

prompt: suicide.

what I'm looking for: substance, oblivion, drifting, noise, the sky, disintegration, infinity, symphonies, a boundless ache in the chest, movement, silence, leaves down the street, driveways, Moonlight Sonata, the entwine of mystery and beauty.

Think Sylvia Plath, Ernest Hemingway, Hunter S. Thompson, The Virgin Suicides.

I want birds and beasts.

Rules:
No flaunting your attention whore spider-web.
Nothing about the abyss, please.
Oh, and suicide isn't revenge on the world so save your angst and your razor-blade kisses on the wrist and liek {b}R0;k;eN= ♥ for the diary you carry around in your backpack, secretly hoping to drop it and someone will read it and understand your "problems" and realize how fucking special and unique and beautiful you are. [by the way, asshole, you aren't.]
FREEVERSE AND PROSE ONLY.
IMAGERY.

If you fail to follow the rules, you probably won't receive a desired comment. That being said, don't whine to me because you're a rule breaker.

fill my veins with your last breath.

    • you=awesome ♥

      i second the motion.

      to quote my 12-year-old alter-ego, xxxIslitmywristsxxx:

      "lyk omGz im s3w dEep n 3mO cuz i slyT m3h riisTz wit pL@sTiC sP0oNz..."

      what a joke. seriously, there are people out there with real issues, so the whiny wankers should give it up and stop tarnishing the dignity of those who actually need help. anyone who is offended by this can go cry too.



      bookmarked.

    hahahah. you're a ass. =3 LOVE IT. <3

    Wish I could write a poem for your contest....maybe a few years ago I could have. It's almos sad, the progress we make; my mind doesn't work the way your contest calls for. However, this is one box I would love to try to fit into.

    I do look forward to the winner though.

    Cool idea, cooler name.
